My Last Hunt

Level Battles 40

The monsters woke up early for the long day struggle. This island was tough deal for the travel. Making through the fissures and avoiding the enemies. They could only expect the present team of hunters to keep the previous alert methods to save them. The danger was bigger because in case the beasts attack the damage would be two fold. 

Half of the monsters might fell in the fissures if they ran around. This was the price of moving toward better conditions yet the monsters pay. Qiao let the two affiliated hunters block the paths of the beasts from different points. At least it would decrease the sudden onslaught.

Qiao was about to move along when he saw Lam flying and nearing. Its feathers looked stronger compared yesterday when it newly tear apart the skin and appeared. The flexible bones were still void of flesh or cover. It seemed the monster would wait for it to complete the natural process. 

Its aura was also improved. The overall color of its skin changed, with the distinctive five eyes, short tail and big feathers the level eight granted powerful image to the monster. Qiao stepped ahead and the monster spread its feather in his feet, "My master can take ride instead of rush skill." Lam soberly spoke. 

Qiao nodded and hopped on the back of the monster. The huge feathers flapped bringing Qiao in the open sky. Now he could easily survey the migration and the monsters. He could also spot the two affiliated hunters standing at his marked positions with the active stones. The fissures were looking like random lines on the ground. 

The movement of the monsters and the journey was most noticeable aspect in this third island. They were very careful and prudent while take leaps from above the fissures. Qiao admired such organized method of the monsters. This was beginning of the day and the beasts were appearing at the side lines of the boundary. They could see the protective measure but knowing that they will ruin it soon they were quite care free. 

Qiao took a look at the other side of the island. Three hunters were standing alert at the open ground. It was least point line for the monsters to stay under the area of the island and not to wander the other side where the Inama Continent has its population. 

He could imagine how much he had been rushing to fulfill the mission. It was easy in case the affiliated hunters needed his help. He patted the back of the monster and smiled. "My friend you are trustable. How long you want to stay with me?" he asked to confirm it. 

There was no blood oath between this master and the monster so the monster was free to leave any time. Qiao intentionally did not take this oath from the monster. "As long as I am breathing, I would not leave your side." Lam spoke determined. It greatly wished that the master should ask for the blood oath however Qiao did not propose it. 

"Then hurry we are going to let the beasts know their place." Qiao spoke in high spirits. From above he spotted three groups of the beasts sneakily approaching the hunter. He was alert however holding his hand on his cheeks. Qiao shook his head seeing that this hunter was still in trauma. He alone would not be able to kill or chase all three groups because he was oblivious of their onslaught. 

These beasts were ready to get rid the hunter then look for the potential target. Lam flapped and brought Qiao above the head of the hunter. It lowered its feather to let the master stand on the ground. It might have brought above the heads of the beasts nonetheless they were moving among the big and bald trees. 

The forest was merely for name still autumn whipped trees were present to give a sign of its presence. The beasts were reaching the hunter and he was standing worry free. "Where are your thoughts wandering?" Qiao spoke and his words brought back the senses of the hunter. He seemed lost instead horrified to see the team leader suddenly appearing. 

Qiao did not stop to listen his excuse. He ran toward the beasts attacking randomly. The beasts were caught off guard. They were stunned to think how the hunter got wind of their silent advancement. Qiao has seen their places so he was accurate in his attacks. 

The hunter saw him attacking. He also joined hands and attacked. His were using the wit of the team leader means that the hunter attacked the same place where Qiao commanded his stone to attack. This led the beasts go through two fold face off. 

At the time they decided to retreat half of them were dead by then. Qiao turned and see the hunter. "You were doing good just keep in mind that the beasts are slightly intellectual compared to you." Qiao spoke plain. The hunter blinked at the open insult but he could not refute the timely appearance of the team leader. 

Qiao said so and walked out of the bald forest. The hunter stood at his previous spot this time not thinking useless things in his head. He was making plans how to get back at the team leader. This confrontation taught him serious life lesson. 

If not stronger then he could screw his life in his ignorance. Qiao was going to survey the surrounding again. He might never had had taken it necessary but for the sake of mission he was thoughtful. The beasts were utterly baffled with the sudden attack. Two level eight atone were attacking without intervals. This gave impression that some Hunter King was guarding the migration and the monsters. It was terrible experience for them. They were level seven but competing with the Hunter King was impossible. 

The remaining alive beasts retreated. They did not know about other dens of the beasts nonetheless they would not resort any method of attack in the presence of the Hunter King. Not only his attacks also his appearance matched with the Hunter Kings so it easily created this impression for them.
